<VV> Does anyone know anything about the XP880

[Secular]

  and...

  Though not called Corvette, the curvy one-off Astro II of 1968 
  fueled rumors that a mid-engine Chevy sports car was near. 
  Developed as GM project XP-880, it was a follow-up to the 
  previous year's Corvair-based Astro I, but carried a 
  Corvette V-8 and conventional doors. 
  The entire rear half of the body was 
  hinged to tilt up for engine access...

  Was looking around the web and stumbled across a reference to a Chevrolet
  Styling concept car labeled as the XP880. The caption stated it was a 1967
  model, but looked very similar to some of the Corvair concepts. It even had
  a flip up rear panel with vents. Was this a Corvette concept with a Corvair
  driveline? I can't seem to find anything but a picture or two of the car.
  Absolutely no descriptions (in English, at least).
